Realization of Substantive Law through Legal Proceedings

This volume contains contributions to a symposium that was held according to a tradition of amicable relationship between the law schools of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Nagoya University on September 30 - October 1, 2015 in Nagoya on the topic "Realization of Substantive Law through Legal Proceedings". In a time where the value of law enforcement through courts is incrementally questioned and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are globally promoted the question of the purpose of civil procedure and the relationship between substantive law and its realization through legal proceedings is of particular relevance. The topic thereby not only concerns traditional civil and civil procedural law, but also labor, patent and private international law. The volume reflects the topic‘s relevance from a comparative perspective since similar tendencies and questions currently arise in Japan and Germany. With contributions by:Alexander Bruns, Maximilian Haedicke, Jan von Hein, Sebastian Krebber, Masabumi Suzuki, Hajime Wada, Miyuki Watanabe, Dai Yokomizo, Tomohiro Yoshimasa
